30.11.19 THE EDGE OF SILENCE album reviews in FRASTUONI MAGAZINE ITALY!
Great review of The Edge of Silence album in Frastuoni Magazine, Italy... Grazie Luca Sponzilli...
Brigitte will return to Italy in 2020...
"....And we close with two releases almost contemporary for a female artist from Sydney, Australia: Brigitte Handley; the singer-guitarist component also of dark shadows, publishes the solo debut album entitled the edge of silence and just in these days the fascinating and Winter single "After Dark". the fluids arpeggios fluids refer to Suzanne Vega but the sounds are veiled of a melancholy rich in pathos near certain dark / Shoegaze Productions. And also for this month is everything. Goodbye to 2020! "
E chiudiamo con due uscite quasi in contemporanea per un’artista femminile proveniente da Sydney, Australia: Brigitte HANDLEY; la cantante-chitarrista componente anche dei DARK SHADOWS, pubblica l’album di debutto solista intitolato The Edge of Silence e proprio in questi giorni l’affascinante ed invernale singolo "After dark". I fluidi arpeggi chitarristici rimandano a Suzanne Vega ma le sonorità sono velate di una melanconia ricca di pathos vicina a certe produzioni Dark/Shoegaze. Ed anche per questo mese è tutto.
Arrivederci al 2020! Luca Sponzilli

20.05.19 SLICED - The new single from The Dark Shadows...
From The Dark Shadows bunker, comes SLICED...
Digging deep into the archives of The Dark Shadows’ black bunker,
we’ve unearthed a previously unreleased track, ‘Sliced’.
The song harks back to the dark edged days of the band.
‘Sliced’ cuts through the deluge of a selfish modern world
with an explosive punk sound
infused with elements of 60’s inspired garage.

#005 Salute to the wonderfully talented Ned Wu… an early promo photo by our photographer Jo Perrett, taken at our rehearsal room in Moonlight Studios. Ned’s one of the most musical drummers we’ve ever had the privilege of sharing the stage with. Ned is powerful drummer, with a beautiful natural feel and sense of dynamics and subtleties… Ned’s style, dedication to her art and infectious personality contributed so much to the Dark Shadows sound and live performances… The Dark Shadows had a few different drummers come and go but Ned was the final piece in the puzzle that we had been missing… Not only is Ned a wonderful person with an infectious smile, Ned is also a dedicated Japanese Taiko drummer and you can catch her playing live now with Sydney band, The Mis-Made

We played a show there in Case Matte the night before and had a bit of time to explore the city the next day, including the ’Red Zone’ which was devastated by the earthquake in 2009. We heard so many stories from the people there who had to evacuate leaving everything… they couldn’t return to their homes because it was too dangerous… so much of the city had crumbled to rubble after the quake… despite the hardships, the people of L’Aquila were wonderful strong spirits and we left there feeling very inspired… we hope to return there again someday…

01.10.13 - THE DARK SHADOWS NEW ALBUM - AUTUMN STILL...
A moment stolen in time... Captured thoughts, scenery and sounds...
The essence of a time and place, caught up in a collection of emotive thoughts and mood provoking tones,
empty branches, fallen leaves, frosted feelings that set the soundtrack ready to embrace the frozen chill...
‘Autumn Still…’ the new album from The Dark Shadows captures that quiet frozen moment stolen in time... a collective journey of 12 tracks conjuring the thoughts and emotion of times, travel and unexplored places… twisting turns, wind you deep down through this aural path, treading lightly so as not to crush the beauty of fallen leaves, exploring the dim, mysteriously lit places of our hearts and mind… Autumn still… is a quiet, secret place where one can feel free to express, sense and feel the essence of being. Be it difference, indifference, defiance or alliance, here, may we speak, exchange, correspond those unspoken moments where words alone are not enough… it is still here, in the Autumn still…
‘Autumn Still…’ is a gathering of 12 tracks together as part a Dark Shadows collective introducing new tracks as well as including the singles previously released on limited edition vinyl that evoke the mood and feeling of the Dark Shadows musical journey and evolution of recent times. The Dark Shadows new album, ‘Autumn Still…’ will be released in Europe and the UK late October on CD and limited edition collectible 12" vinyl including digital download codes through Halb-7 Records, Germany with distribution through Broken Silence (Germany) and C7 (UK).
